Queueing for petrol
Queueing for petrol
The day after the Government urged motorists to top-up but not panic-buy the Shell Garage on Dowson Road, Hyde was seeing a steady stream of cars queuing up. I'm told the queues at 7am were much longer. Petrol was priced at 138.9 pence per litre and diesel at 145.9ppl.

The scene about 20 minutes earlier: SJ9594 : Shell Garage on Dowson Road.

By the following day it had run out of diesel SJ9594 : No diesel, no queues.
